A major earner for the Gambino family, Martino owned expensive homes in Harrison, New York and Southampton, New York, wore Prada brand shoes, and drove an expensive Mercedes-Benz automobile. Martino and Gambino capo Salvatore Locascio created what appeared to be just a pornography website. Like many such sites, visitors could tour it for free by providing credit card numbers to confirm they were adults. However, Martino and LoCascio then charged the visitors an unauthorized monthly website subscription. This scam cost consumers approximately $230 million. In a different scam, Martino and Locascio created a "cramming" scheme that sent bills to customer phone companies for unwanted services. This scam cost $420 million.
